G                       D    Em                   D
   I ought to leave            enough hot water
  for your morning bath        but I'd not thought, I
 
    C                Am
    hate to hear you talk that way
    C                Am               G     D   Em   D
but I can't bring   myself to say I'm sorry

G                         D    Em                   D
   the past is always            knocking incessant
  trying to break through        into the present
 
    C               Am
we have to work to keep it out          G     D   Em   D
and I won't be the first to shout it's over
 
Am         C                Am      C                   G D Em D
 I used to wanna plant bombs at the last night of the proms
    Am          C                Am          C
but now you'll find me with the baby in the bathroom
          Am                          C           D
with that big shell listening to the sound of the sea

G                       D      Em                    D
 I steal a kiss from you         in the supermarket
  I walk you down the aisle,     you fill my basket
 
       C                 Am
and through it all the stick I take
    C                Am
is worth it for the love we make
 
 
Am         C                Am      C                   G D Em D

the baby and me
 
 
G                   D  Em                      D
  I stayed in bed         alone, uncertain
  then I met you,        you pulled the curtain
 
    C                 Am
the sun came up, the trees began to sing and
 C                Am             G       D  Em    D
light shone in on everything, I love you
